About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both veterinary and everyday settings. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet and have worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, caring for up to 40 dogs and cats at a time. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and have experience administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. My love for animals goes far beyond work. I’ve volunteered walking and fostering dogs through the humane society and have run my own pet-care business caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I also have extensive veterinary experience with horses, including working at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Alabama Performance Horse Services. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets because I feel the same way about my own! I have a cat, Edo, and a dog, Henderson, who are both very loved and have taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always want pets in my care to feel as safe and comfortable as I would want Edo and Henderson to feel with someone else. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also respecting their boundaries. With my veterinary and animal-care experience, safety is always a priority, and I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.

About: I have a special gift for noticing the emotions and personalities in pets that people often overlook. Whether your dog is playful, shy, independent, or simply needs a little extra love, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ve been around dogs since the age of 7. My specialty is dogs, but I happily welcome my feline friends too! :) When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched. I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and joyful during every visit—so much so that they remember me when I return! My goal is to make sure your pet has a great day, because they give us so much in return: security, joy, companionship, and unconditional love. I want them to feel that same care and connection while they’re with me. 🐾 I don’t have a full time or part time job, I don’t own any pets of my own, no kids. My only exceptions would be my personal daily task that come with general life. I do not board more than one dog at a time just to keep things safe. I also live in an apartment complex with two other roommates who are my best friends. With this set up, I can ensure both your fur baby and my roommates are comfortable.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults. I’ve had dogs of my own and regularly cared for my brother’s dogs while he was a breeder, giving me hands-on experience with puppies and adult dogs. Most of my experience is with French Bulldogs, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a full-time freshman at UAB, but my weekly schedule has consistent gaps that allow me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I am experienced with maintaining pet routines and can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feedings during my regular availability: Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM and after 4:30 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and after 3:15 PM; Fridays from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM and after 3:20 PM; and open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe every pet is different, so I don’t treat every pet the same. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s needs while making sure their environment stays clean and secure.

About: I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, whether that’s helping reinforce basic training and potty routines or being extra patient with older dogs and any special care they need. I also bring over 10+ years of babysitting experience, so being patient, attentive, and dependable is second nature to me. That same level of care and responsibility carries over into how I treat your pets. I am currently a graduate student at the University of South Alabama. Other than class, I have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you leave, including medications or special care. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I also spend quality time with your pet. Whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, so they’re not just being “checked on,” but actually cared for.

About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. Your animal would be in great hands with me. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!

About: I have grown up around dogs and absolutely love them. I got my first dog when I was 6 years old, and I took him to college with me when he was 13 years old. I took care of him as his health began to decline and truly loved him so much. After he passed away, I got my rescue, Viv. She is a pitbull / lab mix and I have had her since 2023! She has been with me through it all! I cannot wait to work with your dogs and help you take care of them. I know how tough it can be for a dog to change their routine and I'm here to help make those changes as minimal and smooth as possible. I'm currently looking for a job while applying to law school, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pups! I can do drop-in visits and walks regularly. I can feed your dogs wet or dry food (I'm used to that with my dog and my family's dogs) and take them on walks or runs (I am training for a half marathon)! I will make sure they constantly have enough water and have been taken potty enough.

About: My love for dogs started at age 7 when I got my first dog, and I've never looked back. Growing up with dogs gave me hands on experience through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. That lifelong bond has also given me a natural understanding of dog behavior, which helps me keep every pet calm, happy, and well cared for. I have open availability, making pet care a natural and flexible part of my everyday routine. Your pet will always be my priority. Feel free to message me with any questions! Your pet's well being is my top priority. Every visit includes fresh food, clean water, plenty of exercise, and playtime tailored to your pet's personality and energy level. I treat every animal like my own.

About: Experience with our lovable family dog, Charlie, has familiarized me with all types of canine behaviors and taught me how to respond with grace and love each time. He is a sweet mid-sized mutt that has been a joy and blessing for our family. I also have had cats for most of my life and currently, my family has two cats. I've always loved cats for their ability to simply chill and from a practical perspective they tend to be easier than dogs to take care of. With that in mind, I just adopted two kittens (a brother and sister) that I have taken with me to college. They are currently my pride and joy. I’m in school as a dance major which takes up all my time in the morning, but my afternoons tend to be free which leaves me plenty of time to care for your furry friends! Due to the volume of animals that live in my family home, I am only able to provide overnight care for your pets from the comfort of their home. This means your animals won't have to used to a new, strange environment! They get to show me their favorite toys and tricks right in their own backyard. As your pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and stress-free environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and content while you are away. With a genuine passion for animals and years of experience, I am well-equipped to handle a variety of needs and personalities. From feeding and exercise routines to administering medication and providing ample playtime, I am committed to tailoring my care to meet the unique requirements of each furry friend. Additionally, you can rest assured knowing that I will maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates and even sending adorable pictures to keep you connected with your pets throughout our time together. Your pets' well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to building a trusting relationship with both you and your furry family members.

Their well-being is my top priority, and I care for them as if they were my own! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, as I have a cat and dog of my own! With lots of free time and a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention, playtime, and care they truly deserve! At home, I care for both my cat and dog! My dog gets daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, while my cat enjoys a calm, cozy space with lots of attention and enrichment. I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy every day! The same care and attentiveness I give to my own pets is exactly what I offer to every pet I look after!

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I volunteered at my local humane society, where I developed a deep love of animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for many friends and family members over the years — I love taking dogs on walks, playing games with them outside, snuggling with kittens on the couch, and sending you lots of photos of it all! I also worked at a vet clinic in college where I learned a lot about animal behavior and care. As a high school teacher with a free summer schedule, I am here to watch your fur baby any time of day that you need! As a public school teacher, I get to enjoy my summer break without obligation! This means I will have a very flexible schedule in June and July to take care of your fur baby. I will be able to take them for walks, play with them outside, and give them any attention needed throughout the day. I live on a quiet street with a yard (no fence) in a suburban area with lots of safe space for walking. If I’m coming to your home, I can ensure it will be taken care of and left in pristine condition and would love to explore the neighborhood with your pup or hang out around the house with your cat.

About: I have 4 years of experience with almost every breed of dog and cat imaginable so I can provide specialty care based on your individual pets needs! For over 4 years family members and clients have trusted me to handle potty breaks, playtime, feeding time, and medication for senior care of their pets! I work part time during the week so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks and house sitting. I have one client that I let out for potty breaks weekly in the Mountain Brook area, others are scattered availability. I can care for your pets and home by making sure they have lots of attention and playtime throughout the day. In senior pet homes I have no problems cleaning any accidents quickly and efficiently while making sure your pet isn't embarrassed. Additionally in senior pet homes I can adhere to strict medication schedules on time and with lots of positive reinforcement.

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs all my life. I now have three cats of my own who live a very loving, lavish lifestyle. Your animals will receive the same care my animals do! I currently work in medical device sales at Grandview medical. My schedule can be unpredictable at times, but I often have a ton of downtime. Plenty of time for a dog walk, a check in on a cat or dog, or plenty of time to come home and give any animal attention staying at my own place! My three cats get wet food 3 times a day as well as dry food as they prefer it. They have set food schedules that I follows everyday. I know cats are very susceptible to dehydration, and I’m very conscious of this. I change water daily, clean food bowls daily, give each cat probiotics to help keep their guts healthy, and add extra water to their food. I take my cats yearly to the vet, as well as took one of my young cats to a specialist and paid whatever means necessary to make sure he was okay. I now give that cat of mine meds weekly, so I am familiar with having to give meds to pets. My cats are left with animal noises on the tv daily, plenty of toys, plenty of room to run. Litter boxes are cleaned 1-2 times daily. This will be standard of care for your pets!

“Madison’s experience at the vet gives our family such confidence that we can leave our dog in the best of hands. Her knowledge on how to handle “skiddish” dogs was perfect for our animal. She’s always on time and dependable. Boba loves her and that’s the most important thing to us. I would 100% recommend her to watch any type of animal you have.”

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mountain Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mountain Brook is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 923 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mountain Brook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mountain Brook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Mountain Brook with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mountain Brook. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
